Written amid a general sea-change in the way that Old Testament narrative texts are read among many of those who read them in academic contexts, this volume attempts to introduce the reader to a fairly broad range of issues which arise in relation to Kings, in the context of the kinds of issues which arise in relation to biblical narrative in general. Provan attempts to show, in relation to the many issues addressed, why different readers read Kings differently. Reflection on these fundamental issues should enable readers to form their own judgments on the matters under discussion, and to move beyond these to other matters which may be of interest to them.
